A new method to find neighbor users that improves the performance of Collaborative Filtering

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a new neighbors finding method for CF based on subspace clustering.

• Based on subspaces, tree structures of neighbor users are drawn for the target user.

• Proposed method finds the best neighbors without any adjustable parameters.

• A new similarity method is proposed to compute the similarity value.

• Proposed method has been tested by Movielens 100K, Movielens 1M and Jester datasets.
